tabs into a single web/desktop tab, with an optional step 2 to
change the destination stream.
Fixes#27159.

in the left sidebar, using Markdown include blocks for reusability
in `follow-a-topic.md` and `mute-a-topic.md`.

Adds warning banner to the organization settings overlay/tabs
for demo organizations. For owners, clicking on the link in the
banner opens a modal to convert the demo organization into a
permanent organization.
For admins that are not owners, clicking on the link will go
to the help center article on demo organizations.
Non-admin users will not see the warning banner.
The modal for converting a demo organization requires the owner
to have set their email address. Once the owner's email address
is set, then the organization can be made permanent by changing
the subdomain of the organization. The deletion date for the
demo organization will be removed as part of updating the
subdomain.
The organization owner must also have updated the organization
type to be any value other than unsepecified to convert the
demo organization to a permanent organization. The modal's
submit button will be disabled if that is the value for the
organization type in the form. The demo organizations created
in the dev environment now have their organization type set to
unspecified on creation.
This is a part of #19523.

- Updates page to follow current help center documentation patterns.
- Revises intro text.
- Adds `tip` to change stream description via stream settings.
This adds support for syncing user role via the newly added "role"
attribute, which can be set to either of
['owner', 'administrator', 'moderator', 'member', 'guest'].
Removes durable=True from the atomic decorator of do_change_user_role,
as django-scim2 runs PATCH operations in an atomic block.
Adds a section to the demo organizations help center article about
configuring an email and password for demo organization owners.
For demo organization warning banners about needing to configure
an email, add a link to the new section in the help article.
Also, adds a related articles section to the help center article,
and updates the current draft text for changes in how the demo
organization feature is being implemented.
This commit rename the existing setting `Who can invite users to this
organization` to `Who can send email invitations to new users` and
also renames all the variables related to this setting that do not
require a change to the API.
This was done for better code readability as a new setting
`Who can create invite links` will be added in future commits.
- Updates Desktop/web instructions to follow current help center
documentation patterns.
- Adds instructions to unsubscribe from a stream via the stream settings
panel.
- Corrects documentation to reflect that typing notifications also
work when narrowing to all direct messages in the web/desktop app,
and disappear under certain conditions.
We should have a clear reference in the "Writing messages" sidebar
section on linking to other conversations below "Mention a user
or group" to clarify mentioning users vs linking to conversations.
This adds a link to the "Link to a message or conversation" article
with a different heading.
- Adds instructions block and relative link to Starred messages.
- Adds "Toggle starred messages counter" subheading.
- Adds "Searching for messages" as a related article.
- Adds a link to the "Recent conversations" article whenever we use the
term "conversation" as a technical term referring to topic or
DM thread. This can help clarify meaning when the term is used in this
specific way.
This commit encompasses the following changes:
* Replace the [More...] link with a button titled "Show more".
* Replace the [Show Less...] link with a button titled "Show less".
* Add various on-hover interactions to the buttons.
* In the condensed view, add fading to the bottom of the message to
visually communicate that the message is truncated.
* Update /help/ description.
Fixes#22801.

Dropping support for url_prefix for RealmPlayground, the server now uses
url_template instead only for playground creation, retrieval and audit
logging upon removal.
This does the necessary handling so that url_template is expanded with
the extracted code.

- Removes `tip` block that does not apply to the "Send a scheduled
message now" section.
- Adds relevant keyboard tips.
- Adds "Related articles" section.
This includes changing the URL to #settings/preferences, with a
transparent redirect so that existing links, like the one from Welcome
Bot, continue to work.
Updates the main description for the `get-stream-topics` endpoint
so that it is clear that the topics for private streams with protected
history are limited to the topics / messages the user has access to.
And updates that documentation and the help center documentation for
bot permissions / abilities, to clarify that bots have the same
restriction and can only access messages / topics that are sent after
the bot (not the bot's owner) subscribed to the stream.
- Documents wildcard mentions (`@all`, `@everyone`, `@stream`),
linking to /help/mention-a-user-or-group#mention-everyone-on-a-stream
from the intro text.
Fixes#25783.
- Create a dedicated "Reporting bugs" page to learly document
where and how bugs should be reported.
- Drop "Reporting issues" section from the Contributing guide.
- Delete "Bug report guidelines" page.
This commit revamps the invite type section of the "Invite user" modal
to provide a more intuitive user experience. The section now includes a
radio button option with two choices: "Send an email" and "Generate an
invite link." The email input box is hidden when the "Generate an invite
link" option is selected.
Fixes#24692.
- Adds a new page under the "Reading messages" section documenting
the Inbox view on mobile.
- Adds Inbox, expand more, and expand less SVG mobile icons.

- Renames page title to "Restrict stream membership management".
- Renames section about "Who can add users to streams" setting.
- Adds new section "Configure who can remove users".
- Updates help/stream-permissions
Fixes#25264.
This removes the previous "or forward" text from the message
actions popover, and keeps the documentation in sync with the
new text. Internationalization tests are updated, too.
Fixes#25603.
With the private messages -> direct messages migration, we should
rename the "Starting a new private thread" help center article.
- Renames article to "Starting a new direct message"
- Updates relevant section in /help/getting-started-with-zulip
- Fixes typo in /help/send-group-dm
- Updates file names and adds URL redirect.
Fixes#25506.
Previously, the user setting "Mark messages as read on scroll" sounded
quite awkward and possibly confusing at times. We should update the text
to something more clear and concise. This change will change "Mark messages
as read on scroll" to "Automatically mark messages as read".
The help center article is also fixed to name which setting is being
adjusted.
We move "Allow message content in message notification emails" setting
from "Other settings" subsection to "Automated messages and emails"
subsection.
Fixes#25339.
Earlier, the `s` hotkey just narrowed to the stream of the selected
message (to a topic), while `shift+s` narrowed to the conversation view
(topic / dm) of the selected message.
Now, the `shift+s` hotkey has been removed (but retained for toggling
subscription to a stream when the stream overlay is active), and the `s`
hotkey takes on double duty: if the current view is not topic / dm, it
narrows to that, else when in topic view, it switches to stream view. It
has no effect when in dm view. Documentation has been updated for this
both in the help center, and the in-app `Keyboard shortcuts` menu.
A deprecation notice has been added for `shift+s` as well.
Fixes: #24226.
Documents narrows now have support for new filters for direct messages:
`is:dm`, `dm`, and `dm-including`. Also documents that `is:private`,
`pm-with` and `group-pm-with` are now legacy aliases for these three
new filters respectively.
Note that API documentation references the help center documentation
for search/narrow filters.
Fixes#24806.
This commit make changes in create stream panel by moving
announce stream option below stream description and adds a
"Stream permissions" section heading just above
"Who can access the stream?" and also rewords the text
"Announce stream".
Also now announce stream option is only shown if the user creating
stream have access to the announcement stream name. When option
is not shown, default behaviour is to announce public and
web-public streams.
Fixes#23327.
As a follow up to #24309, we want to add a new tab with desktop/web
instructionsto the "Configure whether messages are automatically marked as
read" section.The paragraph has also been tweaked to accommodate the new
feature.
This swaps out url_format_string from all of our APIs and replaces it
with url_template. Note that the documentation changes in the following
commits will be squashed with this commit.
We change the "url_format" key to "url_template" for the
realm_linkifiers events in event_schema, along with updating
LinkifierDict. "url_template" is the name chosen to normalize
mixed usages of "url_format_string" and "url_format" throughout
the backend.
The markdown processor is updated to stop handling the format string
interpolation and delegate the task template expansion to the uri_template
library instead.
This change affects many test cases. We mostly just replace "%(name)s"
with "{name}", "url_format_string" with "url_template" to make sure that
they still pass. There are some test cases dedicated for testing "%"
escaping, which aren't relevant anymore and are subject to removal.
But for now we keep most of them as-is, and make sure that "%" is always
escaped since we do not use it for variable substitution any more.
Since url_format_string is not populated anymore, a migration is created
to remove this field entirely, and make url_template non-nullable since
we will always populate it. Note that it is possible to have
url_template being null after migration 0422 and before 0424, but
in practice, url_template will not be None after backfilling and the
backend now is always setting url_template.
With the removal of url_format_string, RealmFilter model will now be cleaned
with URL template checks, and the old checks for escapes are removed.
We also modified RealmFilter.clean to skip the validation when the
url_template is invalid. This avoids raising mulitple ValidationError's
when calling full_clean on a linkifier. But we might eventually want to
have a more centric approach to data validation instead of having
the same validation in both the clean method and the validator.
Fixes#23124.

Previously, there was a two similar sections in `marking messages as read`.
We want to move the intro paragraph from the second section to the first
section. Then drop the "Do not mark as read" section altogether.
- Document compliance exports.
- Make structure of all the sections consistent.
- Make other tweaks to improve clarity.

In commit f3a67f0e31, we updated the documented search filters
for direct messages, but these had not been changed in the backend
or the frontend of the codebase and therefore the newly documented
filters do not work. Reverts the documentation to the previous
search filters.
- Updates intro paragraph in Message formatting page.
- Change Markdown syntax -> Markdown formatting.
- Reorders items in the Writing messages section of the left sidebar.
Moves pages from "Sending messages" to a new help center section
to document what you can do in a Zulip message, and make this
information easy to find.
Fixes#24208.
Document new "Automatic" configuration option.
This commit updates the help page 'email-notification.md' to reflect
the change in zulip#24075 from a checkbox to a dropdown for the
'Include organisation name in subject line' setting.
Previously, the help center has a broken link that just points to
Slack's help center. With this change, we will remove and replace the
link to their OAuth scope section.
Updated the title and description in the 'enable-emoticon-translation'
file and renamed the file accordingly. Added a new bullet point for
'time format' in the 'configure-new-user-settings.md' file and updated
the sidebar index by replacing the title 'Use 24-hour time' with
'Change the time format'.
Rename 'Sync with computer' to 'Automatic (follows system settings)',
'Light Theme' to 'Light' and 'Dark Theme' to 'Dark', and rename the
color scheme label to 'Theme'.
Reorder the dropdown menu to have light theme before dark theme.
Rename the 'Theme' section to 'Emoji'. Since there is no 'Theme' section
anymore, replace the 'theme-settings' classname with
'emoji-display-settings' in the 'settings_display.js' file.
The existing "Theme" selector dropdown is moved from the now the
'Emoji' section to the 'General' section.
Rename the 'language-time' title to 'General'. As the 'language-time'
section no longer exists, replace the 'lang-time-settings' classname
with the 'general-settings' classname in the 'settings_display.js' file.
Updated the 'change-the-time-format.md' and 'change-your-language.md'
documentation files to reflect these changes.
To pass the puppeteer_test Replaced the 'lang-time-settings-status'
classname to 'general-settings-status' inside 'settings.test.ts' file.
Creates new help article for supported web browsers. Also updates
links in the `/apps` landing page as well as the unsupported-browser
template and the `set-up-your-account` article.
Fixes#14732.
- Updates "Remove others" row in "Stream permissions" tables.
- Adds a section to "Add or remove users from a stream" describing
how to configure the new setting.
- Documents the new setting in "Create a stream".
- Documents "Message retention period" setting in "Create a stream".
Fixes#24340.
A new hotkey, lowercase `z` (for `zoom`) has been implemented to allow
the user to go to the near view of the selected message with 1 keypress.
Documentation has been added for this both in the help center, and the
in-app `Keyboard shortcuts` menu.
The effect is identical to clicking on a message's timestamp, which
links to that message's near view.
Fixes: #24227.
Documents the Do Not Disturb option with a dedicated page in
the Notifications section.
The capitalization is not our standard style because the desktop app
doesn't follow that style convention.
Fixes#24169.
